Tommy Fury has finally revealed the name of his newborn son with Molly-Mae Hague, and it is as unique as fans expected. The former Love Island star unveiled the name Midas on his boxing shorts during his highly anticipated fight against Eddie Hall on Saturday night, bringing weeks of speculation to an end.
The Name Reveal
The name Midas, inspired by Greek mythology's King Midas who turned everything to gold, was emblazoned in gold lettering on Tommy's shorts. The couple had kept the baby's gender and name private since Molly-Mae gave birth last week, only confirming they had a son earlier.
Molly-Mae had previously warned fans to expect an unconventional name. In a vlog, she said: 'Obviously it's a different name – we were never going to call our baby just an ordinary name.' She added that she had only ever encountered one other child with the same name, calling it 'really quite original of us.'
Fan Reactions
The reveal sparked mixed reactions on social media. One user wrote: 'cant believe the baby is called midas i can turn off the boxing now,' while another joked: 'Wonder how many people paid £15 just to find out they called the kid Midas?'
A source had earlier claimed the boxer was keen to use the fight as a platform for the announcement. 'The little man's name will be on Tommy's shorts at his fight along with Bambi's,' they said. 'Now the little fella is here it's a no-brainer.'
Second-Time Parents
The couple, who met on Love Island in 2019, already have a daughter named Bambi. Molly-Mae recently shared a photo of her newborn sleeping, writing: 'Thank you for healing so many of my newborn fears little one. The peace and happiness I feel this time around is something I wished for but didn't know would come.'
Little Midas now has a big name to grow into, continuing the couple's trend of unconventional baby names.
